Ubuntu 8.04 install fails...

Trying to create a virtual machine from the iso... I get nothing after the
colored splashscreen except the cursor sitting in the top left corned of the
screen.

I've given it a gig of memory and still nada.

Anyone?

Nice to see that Ubuntu still defaults to the diarrhea color scheme.

PCLinuxOS installs fine and is a much better looking desktop than Urbuttoo.

Use the left <Alt>

The right <Alt> is trapped for the <Host> key in VPC.

Will try that, but I typically use the left keys for virtual machines.

Nope, neither side of Alts or Ctrls works...

Base OS is WXP SP3.

Hope someone has an answer.

TIA.

Uh, it's the wireless MS keyboard. Pressing F-Lock gets my F4.

Am trying Ubuntu now... we'll see if it installs or not.

Thanks again.

These users should change the host key in the VPC2007 configuration
fort the keyboard.
